Is your user an actual member of any blogs?
I just tried that literally 15 seconds ago and I see that now shows me a checkbox to broadcast a post. Didn’t see this in any documentation.
Appreciate the confirmation.
Second question if I may: Do I have to post-by-post and page-by-page broadcast content? Or is there a bulk way?
I’ll see about getting the documentation updated in more obvious places.
Regarding you bulk question, I see two solutions:
1. If you like coding, you can use the Broadcast API
2. Or if your time is more valuable, how about the Send To Many add-on?
Thanks Edward.
I can’t justify $97 for a whole pack of plugins, when all I need is one.
Have you ever considered a pricing structure that would allow for smaller purchases?
IE Efficiency currently contains 8 plugins. You could sell them for $15 each, or $97 for the pack.
Just a thought.. 🙂
Indeed I have, and come to the conclusion that there are more disadvantages than advantages: more time to package each plugin, the plugin list becoming enormous (some users have quite a collection of add-ons activated), each add-on will become much larger, etc.
Besides, if you look at the Broadcast time savings tab in a few weeks, perhaps that will show you how much Broadcast is worth to you. 🙂
Your plugin, your decision 🙂
Thanks for the help Edward
All the best.
Hi @edward_plainview
Another quick follow up question if you don’t mind. So I created an ‘admin’ user and assigned them as a user to a child site.
Then in an incognito window, I logged in as that admin user, but I don’t see any broadcast options there?

Have I missed a step?
Thanks
That’s strange. Not only are you missing the blogs, you’re also missing the three other checkboxes that should be there.
Mind checking your admin > Broadcast > tab: Roles?
Does admin have the correct roles to be able to use broadcast?
Ah dammit… Thought I was missing something stupid 😀
Thanks Edward. The roles were set to only SuperAdmin. Sorted now…
Much appreciated.
Actually sorry no, not sorted yet 🙁
What I’ve checked:
1) Roles are correctly setup: http://d.pr/i/4tjbO (ignore the giant arrow, soz 😛 )
2) logged in as user named ‘admin’ on the primary site, and i see the 3 broadcast checkboxes, but no list of sites: http://d.pr/i/2SU1g0
3) Went into master site as superuser and ran maintenance to see what sites ‘admin’ has access to: it only shows that ‘admin’ has broadcast access the master site: http://d.pr/i/W7sc6S <– note the site that i’ve blurred, but pointed to, is the master site, not the subsite.
4) Went into ‘sites’, edited the subsite, checked the users and ‘admin’ user is set as an administrator in the subsite: http://d.pr/i/Nah7d0
Not sure what else I’ve missed out?
Sorry to bug with this, but can’t seem to get it right?
Thanks for your help @edward_plainview
At this point, I think it would be most efficient if you contacted me via e-mail so I can have a look at this myself.
Ah that’s so kind of you, thanks @edward_plainview. Just shooting off to a meeting for a couple hours. I’ll drop you a mail now with my logins so you can browse around for a bit and let me know where I’ve messed up.
Much appreciated
